addition, the lead character comes off dim whitted and acts contrary to her supposed intelligence that we are led to believe she has in the first two chapters It is a very dark book, but plot wise, rather mediocre and uninteresting at least not enough to keep me reading.Like some others who have commented, with a title like the King s Daughter you wou I tried to continue with this book Really, I did I finally gave up ...I tried hard to read this bookbut i just couldn t do it The title of the book is misleadingAs the author of THE KING S DAUGHTER I loved writing this sequel to THE QUEEN S
